Cargill's nutrient profile test now available

Cargill Animal Nutrition has made the REVEAL system available for
customers. The REVEAL system is a core process used to identify the nutrient
profile of animal feed ingredients or diets, providing a reliable process by
which they can measure and manage nutrients.

"While wet chemistry has traditionally been the industry standard for
acquiring these nutrient measures, wet chemistry procedures have continued to
improve based on the equipment, analytical procedures, laboratory information
and nutrients analyzed, along with other, more timely procedures."

According to Knief, the REVEAL system provides a coordinated approach,
including wet-chemistry and near-infrared-red (NIR) measures that link to
related processes to buy, sell or formulate ingredients in real time. "The speed
of business has often outpaced the lab's speed to support decisions in using
ingredients. "This paradigm has shifted today by linking real time measurement
to value creation in our customers' businesses through the use of the REVEAL
system," said Knief.
